Pointing at just me appearing in the video for fishing, the time and energy involved are slightly too much. If something else comes up, it will affect shooting and updates. Why not make it into a multi-protagonist video!
Your personal style is very distinctive. If you can get used to being on camera, the video should have a lot of character! I want you to develop this further!"
"If I'm on camera, then who's going to shoot?" Wang Yan pursued the question.
Zhang Yang continued explaining: "It's hard to find someone good at fishing, but isn't it even harder to find someone who can make a good documentary video?
It's just a matter of spending a little more money. We're still just considering it and nothing is finalized yet! I'm just giving you the chance to test the waters first!
I didn't expect you to start playing hard to get. Otherwise, let's forget it and find another good angler, and you just focus on being the cameraman!"
When Wang Yan heard that Zhang Yang was planning to cultivate him, he quickly put down his instant noodle bucket: "No way! I think I can do it!"
In fact, Wang Yan had really thought about this issue in his spare time from work.
They're all hard-core fishing enthusiasts. It's a lie to say they're not tempted to join in when facing an intense fishing situation.
But the salary and benefits Zhang Yang offered for the cameraman job are very generous, and Wang Yan is someone who knows how to weigh his options, which is why he has remained so restrained.
He was so conflicted just now because he feared he might break his restraint and never return to his previous state.
Now it's good, Zhang Yang intends for Wang Yan to be on camera, which suits him perfectly.
"Let's do it! Filming is nothing compared to the thrill of fishing! After shooting for so long, I feel like I've learned the basics from you! Ordinary ponds aren't a problem!" Wang Yan completely let his rock-and-roll nature loose.
"Alright, I'll handle the equipment this afternoon. You go up and get a feel for it. It's okay if it's not perfect; we just need to find the right shooting state!
If this path works, let's have old Zhao hire another cameraman! The company's business is gradually developing, so we can afford to hire more people!"
"Alright!" Wang Yan readily agreed without hesitation.
Just as a few guys were full, chatting, and warming by the fire, suddenly there was a swooshing sound from the fishing rod Zhang Yang had placed on the stand.
Everyone reflexively turned their heads to look and saw Zhang Yang's rod had already been dragged into the water, with the line pulled out several meters.
"Damn! Is this a feeding frenzy? The rod's been dragged into the water! Quick, give me the waders, it's my turn this afternoon!"
Seeing the fish pull the rod, Wang Yan couldn't wait to help Zhang Yang with the waders.
After all, with a loose line tied, there's no fear of the rod being pulled away. Zhang Yang slowly took off the waders, saying, "Why the rush? It's just a bream, with the loose line, it can't get away! Crap, your skill at undressing others is pretty slick, have you practiced?"
"Hehe, just a small pair of waders, entry-level challenge! What level am I at, unhooking bras single-handedly, isn't that a natural talent, born with it!" Wang Yan took the opportunity to show off again, showing off his cheeky essence.
As he continued to boast, Wang Yan deftly put on the waders, walking a few meters into the shallow water to get on the fishing platform.
After he followed the loose line to bring the fishing rod up, he said in a somewhat surprised tone, "This doesn't feel right, it doesn't seem like a bream on the hook!"
"Not a bream? Stop kidding, playing jokes with us! In this weather, if it's not a bream, what is it? Carp, grass carp, or dou?"
Zhang Yang jokingly commented, thinking Wang Yan was just teasing everyone.
"Seriously, it's not a bream! Look at the bend of the rod!"
While speaking, Wang Yan carefully lowered his center of gravity. The bend of the five-meter-four fishing rod under pressure had already reached the bottom of the second section and the upper half of the third section.
Zhang Yang's own five-meter-four high carbon rod today, with a standard 4h action, had barely bent that much when he caught a bream over a pound in the morning. Is it possible he's caught a different fish?
"What is it? Strong?" Zhao Bingguang curiously asked.
"Not bad, it's still tugging, but it shouldn't break. The water is cold, so the fish's strength is limited! President Yang, help me switch to a big head net. The small net for bream seems insufficient!"
"Okay! Just lead it slowly! I'll get the larger net head for you!"
Zhang Yang fetched and replaced the spare net head, keeping his attention on Wang Yan, who was squatting on the platform.
After about three minutes, the fish on the hook was maneuvered to the surface.
"Wow, bizarre! It's a grass carp! Looks about two to three pounds!" Wang Yan exclaimed as if he'd seen a ghost.
"Yes! It's definitely a grass carp! About the same size as the two to three-pound ones you buy at the fish market!"
"Pull the fish into the shallow water, I'll help you net it!"
Soon, the nearly exhausted young grass carp was dragged into the shallow water, Zhang Yang skillfully netting it with quick hands and eyes.
At the start of spring with such low water temperatures, they actually caught a grass carp, drawing everyone to crowd around and marvel.
Zhang Yang pinched the fish at the gill cover to unhook it, noticing both hooks were sucked into its mouth.
No wonder such a fine line could bend the rod and struggle without escaping.
"What's going on! Doesn't grass carp only feed when the water warms up? Does it start biting so early in the season?"
Wang Jun was puzzled, staring at the well-proportioned grass carp, catching one this season was beyond his comprehension.
Not to mention grass carp, even things like ricefield eels in wild rivers don't have much activity this season, only breams are quite resistant, with their feeding less affected.
